Home charging isn't a thing for vast majority of car owners

• DennisP 4y ago
  Anyone with a house and an EV can do it. I don't have an EV yet but some friends just stayed for a week with a rented Tesla, and charging it up in the garage every night worked great, even with just a regular 120V outlet available.

    > Anyone with a house So how many people is that? Don't estimate house ownership or house rents on your circle of friends. What about cities, apartments with no means to install chargers? World is not urban sprawl where houses have garage and power available for charging cars.

        Got it, world is America. Also, the way North Americans are developing their dwellings and neighborhoods/suburbia is absolutely horrible

          As of 2019, 53.3% of Europeans lived in houses: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/07/flats-houses-types-housing-europe https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/07/flats-houses-types-ho... "In 2008, it was estimated that six out of ten Japanese lived in single-family houses." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_in_Japan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_in_Japan I'm not going to keep googling this for everywhere but in developed countries at least, it doesn't appear that "home charging isn't a thing for vast majority of car owners."
